The image showcases an exquisite example of traditional Chinese architecture — a two-story pavilion positioned over water. This is a classic example of the Jiangnan style, characteristic of the region south of the Yangtze River. The building demonstrates the architectural language typical of imperial China, with pronounced symmetry and multi-level composition.
The pavilion's facade is predominantly executed in red and dark gray tones, symbolizing luck and longevity in Chinese culture. Particularly noteworthy are the elegant curved roofs (of the "dianggong" type) with upturned corners — a distinctive feature of traditional structures. Each corner of the roof is adorned with golden finials, emphasizing the building's status.
The facade structure consists of a wooden frame with characteristic lattice panels and ornamental elements. The second floor features a balustrade with geometric patterns typical of the Ming and Qing dynasty periods. The windows are designed as wooden frames with frequent partitions, creating a characteristic rhythmic pattern on the facade.
The building stands on thin stone pillars partially submerged in water, creating the effect of "hovering" above the pond's surface — a popular technique in Chinese garden architecture. This construction allows the building to harmoniously blend with the surrounding landscape, reflect in the water, and create a visual unity with the natural environment.
